Walton Middle School consistently performs below the state average in proficiency rates for the New York State Assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 16.28% to 43.75% in these subjects, compared to the state averages of 50.86% to 56.47%.
